Farewell Scotty Col: Bali misses you mate

December 7th, 2006

Scotty Col (Colin Forrest), a Baliblog reader and genuine good bloke, passed away recently.

       
Scotty was a witty guy and had visited Bali, on many occassions. A Scotsman who emigrated to Perth Australia, he worked in Margaret River at a winery and seemed pretty content. Last time I met Scotty was September 12th, 2006, along with Steve from Perth. Scotty seemed perky, actually doing most of the talking, part of which Steve and I understood.

Scotty brought me a bottle of his wine, which was very sporting, asked about Ika and Jevon and seemed in good spirits. Apparently shortly after returning to Australia, Scotty developed a cough which turned out to be cancer. He passed away December 4th.

All this kind of stuff is a lesson. It says “buddy, you might not be around as long as you think, so better make the most of it.�

Bon voyage Scotty Col, drink one of those FREE Bintangs for us, in that Bali in the sky.
